This is a great perspective. I have definitely fallen into this meme’s sentiment many times. You have to remind yourself that it doesn’t matter.

JavaScript is super fun when you’re just a kid building a hobby website.

I’ve seen The Fellowship of the Ring more times med than I can count. I love the whole trilogy, but Fellowship is my favorite.

No coding at work! Only meetings! What do you think we’re paying you for?

You know, there are actually a lot of lousy surgeons out there. Usually not at major hospitals, but at very small, rural, or poor hospitals. These hospitals struggle to attract talent, and these surgeons have usually left better positions in disgrace. It’s a match made in hell.

Almost everything looks dumb on tv if you know what to look for. Almost everything related to guns, computers, or driving looks ridiculous and fake. It doesn’t stop them from doing it, nor does it stop people from enjoying the entertainment.

We’ll, they could always be isolated from the main fediverse network. Ultimately it will be good moderation on your instance that is the deciding factor. If another instance won’t moderate or has a content policy that allows it to collect offensive material, then your instance will have to defederate.

I’m sure there will be a few distasteful Lemmy instances out there that have been defederated from all mainstream instances, but I guess that’s OK, because they can do what they want in their own space.

That’s one thing I really like about Lemmy. You can’t forcibly silence people* you can only disconnect/isolate them. (*unless you own their instance).

So we should focus on maintaining the health of the main fediverse network (the interoperability between mainstream instances that are responsibly moderated).

A minute or two each day gos a long way.

I have worked with most of these people at one point or another. I used to sit next to an old architect like walters. He had so many patents the company only recognize him on every 10th one.

It’s easy, you just step, step, step, step in, or wait, over, or, oops.

He’s the biggest grifter in history.

Excellent work. Thanks for all that you do to run this fabulous instance!

Too real.
